  • the perforation can be selected from an aesthetic point of view, it is essentially essential to the invention that there is sufficient perforation on the surface coated with the pressure sensitive hotmelt adhesive.
  • a preferred procedure is to apply a protective film to the side already coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive before or after the labels have been finished.
  • This protective film has the task of preventing the labels from sticking together. Before the actual sticking on the label, the protective film (release liner) is removed.
  • Such protective films may consist of plastic films, and anti-adhesive coated papers are also generally known.
  • Another embodiment of the method applies the pressure-sensitive adhesive to an anti-adhesively coated carrier, for example a silicone paper, a siliconized film or a Teflon film. Thereafter, the adhesive layer can be irradiated. The labels are then applied individually or as a printed or unprinted film web to this adhesive layer. This results in coated labels, which are provided with a removable protective layer on the adhesive side.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de coller des étiquettes sur des substrats hydrophobes, un adhésif sensible à la pression, à réticulation par rayonnement, étant appliqué sur l'étiquette ou sur le substrat sur une surface faisant face à l'étiquette, cet adhésif étant exposé à un rayonnement UV ou électronique puis l'étiquette et le substrat étant assemblés et collés, l'adhésif sensible à la pression étant soluble en solution aqueuse et l'étiquette étant sélectionnée parmi i) des étiquettes perméables à l'eau présentant une absorption d'eau (valeur Cobb) supérieure à 0,2g/m²/20 secondes, ii) des étiquettes perforées présentant une perforation ou des évidements sur moins de 10 % de leur surface enduite d'adhésif. L'invention concerne également une étiquette enduite d'un adhésif sensible à la pression hydrosoluble à réticulation par rayonnement, ayant une forte absorption d'eau et/ou éventuellement pourvue de perforations ou d'évidements sur sa surface enduite d'adhésif.
